Readers are Signaling DC to Stop Trying to Make Woke ‘Superman’ a Thing – Opinion

It’s not Doomsday or some dark army that’s killing Superman, it’s woke writers, and readers aren’t having it.

As RedState previously reported, one of America’s most iconic superheroes, Superman, was sidelined in order to replace him with his gay, climate alarmist, and pro-illegal immigrant activist son, Jonathan. It’s a move that didn’t surprise anyone. DC Comics doubled its wokeness, and is not slowing down.

This is even in the face of constantly falling comic sales and vocal rejection from DC’s dwindling fanbase.

This new Superman, in particular, is getting clear signals from the audience that this hero just won’t fly. Bounding into Comics reports that this version of Superman is seeing fewer people than the previous versions.

Previous estimates for the book’s sales showed it was in the gutter with Comichron claiming the first book of Superman: Son of Kal-El only sold 68,800 issues back in July when it first debuted. It was the 17th-best selling comic of July.

The most recent data compiled by Comichron reveals that the book’s third issue only sold 34,000 copies in September. It was also the best-selling comic of the month at 77.

This 68.800 is even more shocking when you look at previous Superman #1 issue numbers. When the series was rebooted when Brian Michael Bendis took over the title back in 2018, Superman #1 sold 133,700 copies.

DC Rebirth relaunched all of their lines in June 2016 with Superman Rebirth #1 selling 118,434 copies. Superman #1, on the other hand, sold 105,380.

Superman #1 was sold 112,376 copies when DC rebooted the entire DC universe in September 2011 with The New 52

DC’s big seller is Batman with 48 of the company’s top 50 comics being dominated by Batman titles.

Wake up, and get broke.

It’s unclear how many times a company must try this before the people who run it learn their lesson, but one thing is for sure, many of them never will. Many people who tried to export and cultivate leftist politics by establishing themselves in various industries, realized that money is not the only goal. Success for the company was a distant dream. The primary goal is to spread the message.

They will continue to poison the company with political messaging that won’t sell and turn people away. So long as they’re getting the leftist narratives out, they consider their time there a success. Woke Superman is bombing, but do those creating the comic, they’ve co-opted a famous American brand and corrupted it so it serves their purposes. Superman is no longer about “truth, justice, and the American way.” Now it’s “truth, justice, and a better tomorrow,” and they can make that mean whatever they want.

For them, “a better tomorrow” means whatever these extreme leftists say it does, and it takes very little research to find out that what they want is highly destructive, authoritarian, and backward.

It has been seen by many Americans and they don’t want to be involved in it. Woke Superman isn’t selling for two reasons: They don’t want politics in their escapism and/or they don’t agree with the politics in the first place.

DC may go bankrupt and be sold to another company with better characters and stories, but DC will continue to suffer the same fate as every other company after adopting the radical left.
